His mother, Bulle, formerly known as Aglaia, was once the all-powerful queen of the country Marylene. Since Marylene's fall, residents have lived in peace thanks to a self-governing system they have adopted. But when Boris meets Sabine, a warrior French fry thirsty for revenge, nothing will ever be the same ...The final book in Anne Simon's \"Tales of Marylene '' graphic novel trilogy (after \u003cem\u003eThe Song of Aglaia\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEmpress Cixtisis\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eBoris the Potato Child\u003c\/em\u003e delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture (such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles), Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia, but crafted with a Swiftian pen that's mightier than any man's sword.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683965626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164","brand":"Anne Simon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42077516103861,"sku":"9781683965626","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0ee11083-c8ab-4264-b20c-5d000127c97d.jpg?v=1650956743","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/boris-the-potato-child-9781683965626","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
